Some who will remain nameless have even been seen on ESPN Classic footage taunting Jim Boeheim at the Cap Center. The same unnamed person has been known to attend viewing parties for road games and curse at the refs (" has been screwing us for 20 years!") |

I will now dispense an amazing final exam story.
So I have these attention problems. That means that when the exam is at 9 AM on Monday, I finally get around to opening the notebook at 2 AM Monday. I stay up until 6:30 taking a summary of my notes, get a catnap, go to breakfast, and march all the way across campus in what has to be negative wind chills. That's ok, I have my hot chocolate and my notes. I sit down to review, and realize that I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Well, close to nothing. This is either going to be my finest academic acheivement if I succeed, or an unmitigated disaster. I look at the clock, it's 9:05, and the professor walks in. The TA, apparently, has yet to arrive with the exams and blue books. He jokes that we'll give him 20 minutes.
It's 9:13. Everyone is starting to think "What IS gonna happen if he doesn't show?" At 9:21 we get our answer when the professor says, "It's been a pleasure, have a great holiday" and puts his coat on.
The greatest final exam I have ever (not) taken. I'm giddy.

I've been out of college for a while, and your story makes me happy, and jealous. It is one of the best things I have ever heard.

And, I also pulled the same "studying". That was maybe the greatest that happened to me all year. |

Nice story, except not too cool to make you stick around until today for nothing. He could have told you in advance and you could be sleeping off an Eagles-inspired hangover at home by now.

I joked that if I knew this was gonna happen I'd be home by now. Of course, I just hope the guy's okay and just overslept or something. And there would be no hangover, Jack. Just worries about TO's ankle.  |

I was also a student in the now notorious class that had it's final "cancelled" this morning. I must add that the Professor also said: "You guys all did pretty well on the midterm... so why don't we just make that your final grade?" It's been almost 15 hours since this happened and I'm still shocked that it happened.. but it DID! (and my mid-term grade was more than satisfactory) Wish I hadn't studdied so hard!

After taking a final on the first day of finals, I have written 44 pages so far - with about 4 more to go until i turn in my last paper tomorrow.
Georgetown has ripped the soul out my body. I could hear the thud when it hit the ground.
